I can but I am not sure that I may. So I won't.

Why not a fusion between CentOS and SL?

Please don't cut the paragraph where you're interested. Add:
Our main goal for the base distribution is to have everything compatible
with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes. An example
of of items that were added are Alpine, and OpenAFS.

Both statements says the same with different words ... SL says
"compatible" too, like CentOS ...

Honestly... This is a development list. If you need to have the
concept of binary compatibility explained to you then I fear you
are in the wrong place.

Honestly ... I know the meaning of the concept of "binary compatible". I
don't understand is where you see the difference between CentOS and SL
about this. Where is the difference?

carlopmart, please go to the -users list with this, one of the CentOS
devs actually posted a relevant example of the SL/CentOS differences
earlier today:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-March/108389.html
Best regards

I don't doubt about Johnny Hughes says in his email, but there is an
important point is not to taken into account: SL5.6 is not released and
Johnny makes his comparision between SL and CentOS 5.6.
ok, then the principal two reasons to don't fusion CentOS and SL are:
a) SL is not "binary compatible"
b) SL binaries are linked in different manner than TUV does.
?? am I right??

we looked at this in the past and :
- SL and CentOS have different goals, and neither of us are keen on
adapting the other's
- its good to have two projects, its keep user options open
thats about it.
